Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man And I come from County Clare And the brits would hang me for a fenian So I took me leave of there And I crossed the ocean in the "Arrianne" The vilest tub afloat And the captain's brother was a railroad man and he met us at the boat So I joined up with the 20th Maine Like I said my friend I'm a fighting man And we're marchin' south in the pouring rain And we're all goin' down to dixieland I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine And we fight for Chamberlain 'Cause he stood right with us When the johnnies came like a banshee on the wind When the smoke cleared out of Gettysburg many a mother wept For many a good boy died there, sure And the air smelted just like death [Chorus] I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine And I'd march to hell and back again For colonel Joshua Chamberlain We're all goin' down to dixieland I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine And I damn all gentlemen Whose only worth is their father's name And the sweat of a workin' man Well we come from the farms And the city streets and a hundred foreign lands And we spilled our blood in the battle's heat Now we're all Americans [Chorus]
